Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-22 00:00:00 Nina Schjnsby if you're thinking about reading this you should just read this...fascinating to see someone who's far more of a socialist than roosevelt critique roosevelt and call his policies fascist while still kind of idolizing him a weird way

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-07 00:00:00 Thomas Hlavinka Sutton's books are always very interesting to read. Antony Sutton is first a hystorian, and an austrian economist, who wrights a special; type of history, one which you will not find at schools or TV, one that is not appealing enough to be included in the modern mass history for the masses. Sutton's history is not quite about specific events, but more about people. The people in his books are not some nameless masses, but are specific individuals with name and prestige, wealth and power. This is you I will say that his books are not always easy to read, he literally throws at you dozens of names. The people he speaks about all of them are powerful, wealthy or both, but most of them you may have no clue who they are and what they did. His books are about the relations between this people: who do they work for, who are they friends to, who is financing who, what ideologies/policy do they support, what they control. Basically he is telling the history of the financial elites and bureaucracy in the US and how this obscure group/groups shaped US and world events. What I found interesting about this people is that despite they are rich through the process of capitalism (mostly) they are the financiers of socialism... It is not the poor, the middle or high class of society, but the elites who endorse socialism, and socialism pours down from the top to the masses....
